Sigma 402965 16 mm F1.4 DC DN Contemporary Sony E Lens - Black

Product Information

Except for a small number of specialty lenses, the wide aperture bokeh in the frame's corner does not produce round defocused highlights, with these effects taking on a cat's eye shape due to a form of mechanical vignetting. The shape, intensity, and position of the flare effects in an image are variable, dependent on the position and nature of the light source (or sources), selected aperture, shape of the aperture blades, and quantity and quality of the lens elements and their coatings. The Sigma 16mm F1.4 DC DN Contemporary Lens is available in Canon EF

Sigma 16mm F1.4 DC DN C Review - Amateur Photographer

Think Tank Photo Lens Case Duo for a quality, affordable single-lens storage, transport, and carry solution. The 16mm F1.4 lens gives you an equivalent of 24mm with a DX camera, such as the Nikon Z30, Nikon Z50 or Nikon Zfc. This is a good “standard” walkaround length for typical subjects such as landscape and even street photography work. It’s significantly wider than the closest Nikon DX lens prime lens, which is the Nikkor Z DX 24mm f/1.7 lens, which gives an equivalent focal length of 36mm. Again, you need to pay extra for the lens hood, which is sold as an ‘optional extra’ but is definitely worth having for reducing ghosting and flare, as well as giving physical protection to the front element. Unlike many ultra-wide zooms, this one has an attachment thread (55mm) for the easy fitment of filters. Image quality is very pleasing, on a par with that of the EF-M 15-45mm and 55-200mm lenses, although the image stabilizer is slightly less effective, rated at 3-stops.Vignette is incredibly minor (and also easily fixed in post), I really couldn’t see any chromatic aberrations, and the flaring is incredibly well controlled (I tried to force it but could only create minor ghosting in extreme situations). The absolute worst flaring I could possibly capture (so yeah, flare resistance is pretty amazing). Bokeh & Subject Isolation As the aperture narrows, the entrance pupil size is reduced, and the mechanical vignetting absolves with the shapes becoming rounder. With many lenses utilizing 67mm filters, effects filter sharing is highly potential, and the moderate size keeps the price down. The Sigma 16mm, 30mm and 56mm F1.4 DC DN C are three new, affordable compact standard prime lenses for Canon's APS-C sensor mirrorless camera range.
